Lakeland Park Carole 385-1605 Solicit Gifts, Donations f or Dixon Patients . Its that time again. Time to open up your heart and your pocketbook to give at least one gift to a child of Dixon. All through the month of November Christmas gifts will be col­ lected so that they can be wrap­ ped, marked and delivered to the Dixon hospital early in De­ cember. All kinds of things are featured on the list of needs. Prom grooming aids such as hair brushes and combs, tooth­ brushes, soaps, shaving equip­ ment, and cosmetics and just about anything that the average person would need to simple toys and games, playing cards and puzzles and records and books. These things need not be brand new, but must be in top condition. This is not a rum­ mage collection. Each of these gifts will be wrapped for Christ­ mas and marked with the con­ tents of the package so dona­ tions will be gratefully accept­ ed to defray the cost. Money is also given as a gift as there are many items available at the Dixon Comm'ssary and it's al­ ways nice to have a little mon­ ey for fun. If you can help Operation Santa Claus with eith­ er a gift or a donation won't you please drop it off at the homes of Nedra Eckhart, 5215 Willow Lane, 385-1308, or Mary Daurio 5200 Shore Drive, 385- 3160, or call one of them for arranging a pick up of the i- tem. Don't wait, do it now, time is sure flying. GIRL SCOUT TROOP 320 Troop 320 opened the Inves­ titure ceremony with flag cer­ emony given by patrol 2. In­ vestiture went along very well. We thank every girl for know­ ing their part. Every girl had a part to say. It was either a law or what the law meant. After that we said our promise and the flyups got their pins. All the girls made Mrs. Still­ ing proud. For treats Mrs. Schooley made a beautiful cake with the Girl Scout emblem on it. It was delicious. We thank all the mothers that came to our troop 320 investiture. Troop Scribes, Linda Vick and Joan Lingeman.

STROLLING THROUGH THE PARK Wilma and Elwood Crane were recent visitors at Bradley Lawton Would Champion Cause Of Cities-Towns Samuel T. Lawton, Jr., winner of the September primary by a wide margin over twelve other candidates, predicted he would again run first to become a delegate to the State Constitutional Convention. Lawton spoke to a large group in Deerfield, and said he was deeply impressed by the number of citizens in both Lake and McHenry counties who have a genuine concern for the problems facing the communities. When asked if he foresaw any problems in including a Home Rule provision in the new Constitution, Mr. Lawton said, "it will depend to a large extent on how well-versed the delegates elected are on the subject." He emphasized, however, that if elected he would champion the cause of the small cities and towns in Illinois. "I became a candidate because I felt strongly that our District should have a voice that could speak from University where daughter Lin­ da is a senior™ The occasion was the annual Dad's Day. Another college bound set of parents were Doris and Bill Schabow who were at MacMur- ray college visiting Joann who is beginning her freshman year there. They report everything A-OK.

The date of the af­ fair this year is Dec. 6 and will be held at the Legion. We extend our very deepest sympathy to the Holas fam- Area Mayors Endor Lawton For Con-Con Fr:. Nov. 14, 1969 - Plaindealer - Sec. 2, Pg. 5 Samuel T. Lawton, Jr.,v candidate for Delegate to Con-Con, continued to gain support from mayors and cityo ficials in $the 32nd District, with the announcement by Mayor Robert Coffin of Long Grove, Mayor Carl Schrimpf of Round Lake Beach and Mayor Fidel Ghini of Highwood that they are solidly supporting his candidacy. Lawton is the only candidate in the 32nd District with" experience in the legislative area, having served as ily on the death of their in­ fant son, Christopher. experience about the burdensome state restrictions our communities are confronted with in attempting to achieve what is in the best interests of its citizens." Lawton called on citizens of the 32nd District to dismiss any attempt at "party politics." As the nonpartisan Mayor of Highland Park, Mr. Lawton has served under both Republican and Democratic state administrations on water and air pollution control boards, and has built a reputation for honest and efficient performances in a non-partisan manner. Lawton concluded his remarks by stated that a Constitutional Convention must be devoid of partisan politics. "The future of our State and each of our communities is at stake," he said, "and our only concern in Springfield must be to develop as perfect a document as can be achieved by human beings." Adv. SMMM. T. an elected city councilman and present Mayor of Highland Park. In endorsing Sam Lawton, Mayor Coffin stressed the importance to the people of the 32nd District of having "a delegate for the district who is aware of the problems confronting its cities, towns and villages." Mayor Fidel Ghini said "since none of the other candidates have served in a municipal position, they just cannot know the problems we are now facing. This is the man we need in Springfield to speak for the people of the 32nd District," Mayor Ghini concluded. Mayor Schrimpf pointed out that Sam Lawton has served on his city council for over six years, and has been appointed by two Governors to serve on air and water pollution committees. During Lawton's term as Mayor of Highland Park he has maintained a balanced budget and eliminated a $350,000 interfund city deficit, developed the most advanced crime fighting techniques of any city of similar size in the nation, and provided leadership in matters of community relations, pollution control and conservation of natural resources. As a delegate to Con-Con, the Highland Park Mayor would seek a Home Rule provision in the Constituion, which would give cities the power to regulate their own affairs. These include powers to license, to enact all ordinances to further the public welfare, to determine their own citizens pay to run their municipality without burdensome state restrictions. Mr. Lawton, currently serving as vice chairman of the Illinois Air Pollution Control Board, strongly favors the establishment of a Department of Environmental Control to firmly police air pollution, water pollution, disposal of wastes and conservation of natural resources. Two other major areas of consideration that Lawton believes are vital to the future of Illinois are revenue and selection of judges. He believes the Constitution should give the legislature authority to enact fair and adequate taxing structure and favors the elimination of political election of judges. Mr. Lawton supports a modified system in which the Governor would have authority to appoint judges previously screened by a commission composed of the public and Bar Association members. Voters of the 32nd District will go to the polls Tuesday, November 18 to select two delegates from four candidates appearing on the ballot. .. . How Can I ? by Anne Ashley Q. How can I improvise a pressing cloth when 1 don't have the real thing at hand? A. Try using some brown wrapping paper or newspaper when pressing suits, skirts, or dresses. Go over the paper with a damp cloth, place it on the garment, and press with a mod­ erately hot iron. This usually does a real neat job. Q. How can I do a good cleaning job on enameled wood­ work? A. You can do this very nicely with a mixture of one cup kerosene, one cup vinegar, and a half-cup water, all shak­ en up in a bottle, applying to the woodwork with a soft cloth, then following up with a dry- cloth polishing. Q. How can 1 improve the ap­ pearance of black suede shoes? A. Try sponging them with some black coffee. Q. W hat can I do about some light stains on furniture? A. Sometimes a rubbing with your usual polish will do the trick. If this doesn't work, use rottenstone or finely-powdered pumice, mixed to a thin paste with raw or boiled linseed oil. Rub in the direction of the grain, then wipe off with another cloth moistened with plain linseed oil. Repeat as often as necessary, then polish. Q. How can I be sureof draw­ ing out all insects that may be hidden inside heads of cabbage, cauliflower, or similar veget­ ables? A. By standing the whole veg­ etable for fifteen minutes in cold water containing a little salt or vinegar. Q. What is an easy and ef­ fective way of dealing with squeaky floors? A. After locating the noisy ar­ eas, work a bit of slightly softened cake soap into the cracks ... usually muffles the squeaks. Q. How can I camouflage small holes in my kitchen lin­ oleum? A. Melt a wax crayon of the same color as your linoleum, fill the holes with this, and smooth it over. Usually makes a good repair job. and holds up well, too Q. What can 1 do when my homemade soup has become too greasy? • A. Just put a big lettuce leaf on the surface of the soup. When the grease gathers around the leaf, remove it (and the grease) from the pot. Q. How can I re-stiffen or resize a small rug that has become limp and lifeless? A. This is not too difficult a job. Dissolve four ounces of­ ftake glue completely in two quarts of boiling water. Then lay the rug, which has been cleaned thoroughly, face down on the floor and tack it at intervals to hold it straight. Brush your glue solution lightly and spar­ ingly over the back of the rug, being careful not to let it soak through. Let.the rug dry thor­ oughly for at least 24 hours before relaying. Q. What is a good silver pol­ ish I can improvise at home? A. Old-fashioned laundry starch, made into a thick paste, does an excellent job. Rub it on the silver with a damp cloth, let stand a minute or so, then rub it dry with another soft cloth.
